First this is totally the wrong section, there's a Q&A section for threads like this.
Secondly there is no root for Lollipop without unlocking the bootloader as of now. You have to downgrade to Kitkat, root, install a custom recovery and flash a prerooted Lollipop (Stock) ROM.

My device is XT1033 Asian Version
Recently i Flashed Brazillian Kitkat version 4.4.4 then installed Lollipop Brazillian ota update.
So my phone works fine on Lollipop.
Now, im thinking of using custom rom for Lollipop.
I understand that i need to be on XT1032 Kitkat 4.4.2 to be able to flash those roms.
I noticed that many people bricked their device by downgrading.
Just want to be sure, should i re-flash Asian Kitkat 4.4.4 Stock , then flash xt1032 4.4.2 followed by required rom?
How is the process like. I just want to know if there is a way to downgrade successfully without bricking the device ?
thanks.
Hi guys... Help needed to root XL running kitkat 4.4.4 to use apps requiring root access.
Thanks.
All custom kitkat roms are rooted
If you need to root custom ROM use http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip (download SuperSU-v2.45.zip) install it via recovery and your phone will be rooted.
Hi. I am using Xperia M C1904. I was looking for a method to root my phone and found that it's hard to root it when it's on android 4.3. So, I downgraded it to 4.1.2(stock) and then rooted it. After that I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the 4.1.2 custom firmware again which has removed the root access. So currently I have a 4.1.2 unrooted xperia M with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery is not yet installed, and I wan't to upgrade to Cyanogenmod 11. I saw at many places that cm11 only supports android 4.3. So could you please guide me on what I should do now? I mean, do I need to root again for installing CWM recovery and then Cyanogenmod 11, should I upgrade to 4.3 and root again? (but is it possible to get full root on 4.3?) and then is there any specific version of CWM that I should install?
Thanks in advance.

You may not be able to downgrade to stock 4.4. as samsung sometimes lock the bootloader. There are plenty of guides to root in the a series forums and there are custom roms you could flash through recovery to downgrade
Good Luck
